Excellent experience visiting Christ the Redeemer and the Rio Aquarium. Both places are not to be missed, well organized and very enriching for our group. As a point to consider, the tickets do not include transportation, so it is important to coordinate it in advance. Overall, a very positive experience and totally recommendable.

The stadium is great, maybe because of the date and the events you can not appreciate well as shown in the Maracana tour, as we could not enter the field, in my opinion is good tour but lacked that detail of information before buying the ticket, we could only be in the stands.

We attended as a family on 2-1-26, it is a well signposted and orderly place, the entrance and the tour was very expeditious with the necessary time to observe each aquarium quietly. The aquarium has a great diversity of species highlighting the rays and corals.
